I just started taking melatonin for a small sleeping disorder, my mom has it really bad and i think i inherited it! Well the vitamin is 5mg and so far it works but i do wake up with sweats more than usual and a slight headache, i'm trying to solve my issue as natural as possible b/c i don't want to take the other prescribe or chemical stuff that causes other issues!

Comment:
I take 6mg of meatonin every night with 2 tylenol pm. I have on occassion left off the tylenol pm and don't sleep as well. How much melatonis is effective? I heard if you take too much you won't sleep. How much is too much? What is the required amt. I get melotonin from Wallgreens--"finest".
